I noticed that Marc Spagnoula (Woodwhisperer) is teaching classes there (i.e. Hall Brothers Frame, etc.). I’m really jazzed because I’ve never taken a woodworking class (other than shop), I’ll get to meet Darrell, and I’ll get to practice all of the details I’ll need to make our Aurora sofa table.

For those of you not familiar with the class, you make a corner of a table with leg taper details, ebony splines, breadboard ends, and cloud lifts. You walk out of there after two days with a cute little display piece:

Hi Skully,I look forward to meeting you in February.Jim Ipekjian’s Details and Joinery tour is the ultimate way to see the Gamble House.You might also consider a side trip to the Huntington while you are in Pasadena – lots of G&G furniture on view there!

We’re coming down, I’m just trying to scrape the money together for the class. We’ve got some business to attend to while we’re down there, and of course Disneyland. I doubt I’ll be available on Friday. Thanks.
